After all , the JNU students are living off tax payers money as they are thriving on state subsidies . And inspite of living on the money of Indian tax payers , they are shouting anti national slogans and indulging in anti national activity .

Also , too long the Modi government has been on the defensive in the face of aggressive moves to attack it---like in the case it the 'intolerance' controversy and the 'award wapasi' drama or the Rohith Vemula suicide . If this continues , then those who attack it will have the initiative all for themselves and the government will soon lose out popularity even among it's core constituency as it will seen as ineffective . Somewhere , sometime , the government has to take a strong stand .

I actually put a note on this in what's up since i thought ECians did not think it serious enough to discuss.

Havent answered the poll because there are a couple of grey areas and all the sides are hiding them.

- Action against slogan shouters including the sedition case- yes - Totally justified.
- Arresting the student union leader - No - Particularly when he claims that he went there to 'resolve the situation'. If he was in anyway involved in organizing this or any hand in this, then action should be taken against him too.
- 'Freedom of expression' pitch raised by sickulars - Does not apply here. One of the first amendments in the constitution was to introduce a 'reasonable restriction clause'. Shouting anti national slogans is on the other side of the fence.

Else, as i have said earlier, JNU is the factory of Arundhati Roys. The government can as well stop funding it and let the NDA cadets get their degree from elsewhere.

Girish Karnad says that he should be allowed to say that "I wish India gets divided into bits". He says it's "freedom of expression" & not a crime unless & until he turns violent.

Where are these advocates of "freedom of expression" when NSA is invoked on a man for issuing statement that Mo may have been the 1st homo. Or when a lady journo in Mumbai went into hiding because her Urdu newspaper reproduced Charlie hebedo cartoons. And other sickular incidents from sickular citadels like WB & Kerala.

These sickulars come out like frogs do during rains. And I used to like their works as artists (or whatever they are). Swara Bhaskar of Tanu weds Manu is another one.

Reality is they don't like the current establishment & 1 men in particular. Most people know this but modi should speak-up too. If an student commits suicide in a hyderabad Univ, he is responsible (where trs is in power). If a student is arrested in a Delhi univ, he is responsible (because Delhi police is under centre). The reasons & story behind those incidents is forgotten. And the focus is to prove that "this happened because of him".

Modi should issue a statement letting general public know this & ask them to beware of the sickular desings. His voters did not vote for him to maintain a "dignified silence like a king".

A video worth a watch.

Peacepai, there is always something in the fine print which can be used by the 'other party'. Like in your statement i can find something

University of Hyderabad actually is a part of Centre like JNU (it is known as Central University by Hyderabadis). But as mny have pointed out. All the guys in the Univ were appointed by Congress.

Modi is already the 'Most Advised' PM. With both supporters and opponents advising him. But he is doing good in pursuing his higher agenda and not getting involved in such petty quarrels. As you said, why should he answer if one student commits suicide.
